This relaxing journey takes you to St Marie Vanivola Beach.

Ile St. Marie, Madagascar is known for its beautiful white sand beaches and coral reefs. Its dense vegetation and the difficulty of navigating the lagoons which surround it, made it an ideal base for pirates and, later a colony for convicts. Today the island is a vacation paradise. It has the world's only pirates' cemetery and visitors can walk among cashew and cinnamon trees, snorkel from the offshore islet or dive from one of the beautiful sandbanks. The island is less touristy than other resort islands of Madagascar, making it an ideal location to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

The sea is safe for snorkeling, or you book a few days of scuba diving!  Fishing trips may also be arranged, or simply just enjoy a cocktail or two on the private beach admiring the sunset.
